Yeah, well, he can't rob a bank.

He don't know how.

All right, let's forget the straws.

All right, Bowie, you drive the car,

and Chick and I,

we'll work the inside, okay?

- Suits me.

- All right, let's go, Chick.

Goddamn!

BOWIE:
Anybody following us?

T- DUB:
Are you kidding?

They're locked in that vault.

They'll be in there for 30 more minutes.

(ALL LAUGHING)

You know, pretty soon,

I'm going to be wearing a $15 Stetson,

T- DUB:
Okay, that's what you started with.

(MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)

There's your pile.

Chicamaw, there's yours.

There's mine.

And these coins here, they'll be for

beer and gas

and general expenses, all right?

Okay, Bowie,

you take that Plymouth out

and you burn it.

- Burn it?

- Yeah, burn it.

Chicamaw, you take the bus to Vicksburg.

Get us another car

with some extra plates, okay?

Bowie, you can hole up here

for a couple of days.

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go to

my sister-in-law, Mattie's. I...

I think we can get a car there,

and maybe she'll let us stay.

Where will we meet?

In Canton.

There's this Episcopal church,

you know, with a graveyard in it.

And this bride and groom,

they were gonna get married there,

but on the way there,

they were killed by somebody.

When?

In 1875!

Everybody knows about the place.

It's supposed to be haunted.

- We're not gonna meet there, are we?

- Oh, sure.

Right across the street is this barn.

That's how you can tell on the highway.

And we'll meet there day after tomorrow,

about 3:
00 in the afternoon.

All right?

Well, gentlemen,

this'll be my 33rd bank.

(STATIC ON RADIO)

- Can I listen with you?

- Sure.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Want a Coke?

No, thanks.

I'll go get you one if you want.

It's okay. I don't want one.

You cut your hair.

I don't know.

I just sort of evened it off.

Chicamaw owes me $10.
